🚨 I will never look away. Neither should you. This is what ICE is doing. They are not police, they are untrained, morally bankrupt monsters. This cannot go on. We need to organize for these children. They may have weapons and power, but we see this. This is fuel. 1/2

ICE agents in Chicago are unholstering their guns more frequently, which we should expect will result in those guns going off more often. They've already killed one person in Chicagoland—Silverio Villegas González.
